The city sleeps So silently Wish I could say the same for me But I've got this dead ended street To keep searching
For a tunnel underneath the bitter truth Or a bridge invisible I won't fall through
And I don't know how much I can keep Letting you unravel me 'Cause the more you learn the more we share We were worlds apart and you see It was so much easier to be 'Cause now I know what we can't have and it's so unfair
I never meant Most of those pretty words I said But I wanted you to think I did 'Cause telling you all this makes no difference It's useless
'Cause those who get to know our hearts the most They always seem to be the ones we'll never hold
Chorus
Can't you see it's destroying me? I can't stand the closeness But don't you dare go avoiding me It kills me and yet it keeps me going
